Electrum 1.9 released

[adamas]

Electrum 1.9.5 was released. (binaries will follow)

Changes:
* coin control: the 'prioritize' command is replaced by a "send from" menu in the Qt GUI.
(you may select multiple addresses to spend from with the mouse, and the "!" shortcut is compatible with this)
* used addresses are moved to a collapsed section
* more bug fixes

  Thanks! Expert mode available?

Nice... will the addresses have labels too? (Cant test it since portable version isnt available.)

oh lord this goddamn electrum still doesnt connect. always get the red dot when opening.
Im still using the 1.8.1 which doesnt dissapoint like the newer versions

why did you implement these bugs electrum?
Do you want to make me anrgy?

I am planning to install Electrum 1.9.5 on Microsoft Windows OS using the "sources installation" method.

According to the instructions on electrum.org/download.html, I have to install PyQt4 first.

On PyQt4's page hosted by SourceForge, there are 6 files available:

PyQt4-4.10.3-gpl-Py3.3-Qt5.1.0-x64.exe

PyQt4-4.10.3-gpl-Py3.3-Qt5.1.0-x32.exe

PyQt4-4.10.3-gpl-Py3.3-Qt4.8.5-x64.exe

PyQt4-4.10.3-gpl-Py3.3-Qt4.8.5-x32.exe

PyQt4-4.10.3-gpl-Py2.7-Qt4.8.5-x64.exe

PyQt4-4.10.3-gpl-Py2.7-Qt4.8.5-x32.exe

Question #1: Which file should I download and install?

Next, the instructions on electrum.org/download.html state that one should install Electrum-1.9.5.zip

Question #2: How does one install it on a Microsoft Windows OS machine? I have unzipped Electrum-1.9.5.zip and there is no setup.exe.

Lastly, the instructions call for execute 'python electrum'

Question #3: Do I have to first open a command prompt? Some further instructions would be helpful.

Any helpful advice would be much appreciated.

This is what's happening to me with Multibit for months... and now (right when 1.9 was released) I was just moving to Electrum. LOL!
Anyway I am confident Elcetrum devs will solve the new issues, they seems more active and well-disposed.

PyQt4-4.10.3-gpl-Py2.7-Qt4.8.5-x32.exe

Question #1: Which file should I download and install?

The last one. Also, make sure you install Python 2.7.6 first.

Next, the instructions on electrum.org/download.html state that one should install Electrum-1.9.5.zip

Question #2: How does one install it on a Microsoft Windows OS machine? I have unzipped Electrum-1.9.5.zip and there is no setup.exe.

Unzipping is enough. (I agree the Windows instructions could be worded a little better.)
Lastly, the instructions call for execute 'python electrum'

Question #3: Do I have to first open a command prompt? Some further instructions would be helpful.

Yes. Feel free to ask if you need more guidance.

Any helpful advice would be much appreciated.

Hi flatfly

Some more questions:

My Windows OS is 64-bit.
Question #4: Can I install PyQt4-4.10.3-gpl-Py2.7-Qt4.8.5-x64.exe instead of PyQt4-4.10.3-gpl-Py2.7-Qt4.8.5-x32.exe?

You stated that I just have to unzip Electrum-1.9.5.zip.
Question #5:  Into which directory or folder?

You mentioned that I have to install Python 2.7.6 first.
Question #6: Is it sufficient to just install Windows X86-64 MSI Installer (2.7.6) or do I have to install Windows X86-64 MSI program database (2.7.6) as well?

Suppose I have installed Python 2.7.6, PyQt4 and Electrum-1.9.5.zip. Next I open a command prompt as in the following:

C:\>

Next, I type execute 'python electrum' as in the following:

C:\>execute 'python electrum'

Question #7: Is the above step correct?

Hi flatfly

Question #4: Can I install PyQt4-4.10.3-gpl-Py2.7-Qt4.8.5-x64.exe instead of PyQt4-4.10.3-gpl-Py2.7-Qt4.8.5-x32.exe?

Sure you can, but then your build will work on 64-bit machines only. This is why I prefer to use the 32-bit version, which will work anywhere. So, it depends on your needs.

You stated that I just have to unzip Electrum-1.9.5.zip.
Question #5:  Into which directory or folder?
Just about anywhere will do.

You mentioned that I have to install Python 2.7.6 first.
Question #6: Is it sufficient to just install Windows X86-64 MSI Installer (2.7.6) or do I have to install Windows X86-64 MSI program database (2.7.6) as well?
The MSI Installer is enough.

Suppose I have installed Python 2.7.6, PyQt4 and Electrum-1.9.5.zip. Next I open a command prompt as in the following:

C:\>

Next, I type execute 'python electrum' as in the following:

C:\>execute 'python electrum'

Question #7: Is the above step correct?
Just 'python electrum' (without the quotes). Also, first change the working directory to where you unzipped Electrum.zip.

Hope this helps...

Is it possible to have both, prioritize(the default) and Send from?
Great app, btw. Thanks!

The OS X link still points to 1.9.4, though 1.9.5. can be downloaded if you manually change the URL to http://download.electrum.org/electrum-1.9.5.dmg

The OS X link still points to 1.9.4, though 1.9.5. can be downloaded if you manually change the URL to http://download.electrum.org/electrum-1.9.5.dmg

There is a wrong config in the 1.9.5 for OSX that doesn't let you connect in the first run. It only affects Mountain Lion and older, it is being reviewed.

[oggers]

I've just upgraded Electrum 1.9.5 on Ubuntu 13.10, and apparently nothing changes, I cannot see the new coin control "send from" and the network doesn't connect even if if uncheck autoconnect and select a server manually. I have tried to reload the wallet but nothing changes.

Maybe the linux version was not upgraded??

Anyone with this issue?

I don't think this is specific to OS X.

Also running on Ubuntu. I do have the coin control functions. You sure you upgraded correctly?

[oggers]

I think the upgrade was correct.

First, I closed the old electrum application then I executed from a terminal:

sudo pip install http://download.electrum.org/Electrum-1.9.5.tar.gz#md5=e8d66b08f7d1d745e1de04a090d199c2

Now when I open electrum I can read the versión 1.9.5 in the title bar but the new control functions don't appear.

Same on Win7, running 1.9.5 portable, no coin control, feeling dumb.

[ThomasV]

I cannot see the new coin control "send from"

select one or several address in the receive tab, and right click

Oh, got it, that makes sense. Thank you for this excellent piece of software.

electrum why doesnt the auto connect work?
Only a red dot appears and no connection works out
